For some reason the headset earphone has suddenly stopped working on my
Nokia 6300. I plugged the earphone into another phone and it works, so it
looks like something happening within the actual phone.

In the 'enhancement' settings there is a 'default profile' and an 'automatic
answer', changing these does not result in any improvement. Would anyone
have a suggestion please? Thanks.

Use a BlueTooth unit instead?

It could be anything, but without dismantling the handset I suspect you'll
be lucky to find out exactly what it is.

If you are lucky it's earphone socket is broken

Looks like it's soldered to the main PCB ;-(
Not a job for the owner

Shame, on some old Nokias like the 3310 all the sockets are press fit.
